Testimonial for Laurie Levy
Our experience with Laurie was truly a life-giving experience for our first child, for whom we had waited many years through various circumstances. My engineer husband, 40, and I a pharmacist, 35, are eager to hire her for our next baby.
Knowledgeable, experienced, well-educated, & professional: Laurie teaches courses & keeps skills & knowledge fresh & current. Her vast knowledge-base & professional demeanor attest to her commitment. She struck a perfect balance between friendly camaraderie & professional manner, even during labor. She helped me get into labor positions to successfully turn my posterior-positioned baby. She gave solid answers to post partum & newborn care questions & advised me when appropriate to call my clinic. She had great suggestions for new parents; e.g., a comfortable way to first bathe our tiny baby!
Accommodating, thorough & perceptive: Sensitive to individual needs & desires, Laurie solicited our needs & preferences during prenatal visits & adeptly used all bits of information to keep me comfortable during my 21-hour labor. What surprised me most was: although Laurie is a very energetic extrovert, she adapted to my introverted tendency, speaking calmly & quietly, perceiving just when I needed quiet vs when I needed to hear from her during painful labor.
Energetic, determined & tireless: Laurie drove 4 eager grandparents 30 mi to delivery hosp during 2012 snow, despite a tire chain that broke. She never gave up, appeared frustrated or took her focus away from my husband & me in 21 hours. Once I was pushing & didn't need her minute-by-minute guidance she took 100+ fabulous photos & detailed notes of labor & delivery; so I have the entire birth story.
